  • Go wear a HRM and do start/stop walking. I bet your mind will get BLOWN at how wrong you are. If you are EXTREMELY healthy you may only see a slight variation.
  • Google is your friend. :D http://www.favoritefreezerfoods.com/freezing-chicken.html
  • It is absolutely absurd to not eat back calories from being on your feet this long. People who think you shouldn't either are most likely habitual under eaters or simply do not understand the HUGE difference of walking for 5+ hours versus everyday life. Just mind boggling to me.
  • Yeah, I also take measurements monthly and do monthly progress pictures. I don't see the version of myself in the pictures at all. Like my self image isn't even CLOSE to this big. So pictures are huge for me to see where I am at compared to previous months. (Imagine basically only seeing yourself as a smoke puff, because…
  • Holy crap, the people who don't log this because it isn't "really working" are fools. Go sit on your butt, then go walk. Your HR shows a pretty significant change. (My resting HR is something like 70-75, if I am up and moving around the house and then taking 5 minute sits because I am doing something on computer, my HR is…
  • Find your BMR, don't eat less than your BMR. Your body will appreciate you giving it sufficient calories to only run the basic functions. If you're eating below BMR, your body is going to take action to lower the BMR so you can run on the tiny amount of food you are eating. Personally, I can't understand why a single…
  • I always kill my sodium. I also work out hard and drink a lot of water... That being said, sodium I think effects females a little different than males for weight, but I think that is only related to water weight really. Ultimately, you should try and watch it, it does effect your BP and all. I have been trying to watch…
  • You should attempt to consume your TDEE #. My TDEE is like 2650. So everyday I should aim to eat that. Considering my workouts can go beyond what the calculator can put in, my NET(post workout) calories will be below the BMR. This is looked to as "bad" as the NET is the basic daily function of your lean mass. If you don't…
  • You need to eat more. My girlfriend is 5'1", <120 pounds, and eats more than you do and she works out less. 1300 calories is basically an insult to your body and it is going to clean to everything if you're not fueling it. You should look for the "Eat More Weigh Less" group here:…
  • You need to eat more calorie dense quality foods. Make your diary available. Your NET shouldn't go below your BMR. To get your BMR follow this blog post. It also will show you how to determine TDEE and all that, but the big thing is to get BMR. If you have questions, message me.…
  • *wipes drool from side of mouth* google..... Drooltading is a disease, do not promote it spreading.
  • http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/lillebanon/view/my-take-on-eating-more-to-weigh-less-254554 This is from someone who is apart of eat more/weigh less group.
  • BEFORE READING ALL THE CRAP BELOW, remember to start out small. Being fit and healthy is a life long mission.It is not a shallow kiddie pool, but it really isn't super deep either. It just is what you make it to be. Just focus on food? No. Exercise? Yes Weekly change on scale? Yes Water? More than I think you'd believe!…
  • VERY nice work, lots of noticeable changes. Not flexing/arms up on after would have let us see a little more in that regard, but still, impressive difference!
  • Your body will have to get used to expecting this increased fuel. I gained 2.5 lbs the first week I bumped 1800 up to 2100(plus eating every damn calorie back when I worked out) and this week I dropped all of that again and then some. Body just needs to know what you're giving it consistently so it doesn't have to worry…
  • Too much blah blah to watch video. Don't feel like really reading, as it seems nothing I read really said a damn thing about his plan. It basically sounds like eat better, get healthier, working out can follow. There is nothing innovative here that I saw. I'll stick to primal life.
  • I already have a blender, I don't really deal w/ frozen stuff(or have a problem with it when I do). It was just a situation where seeds were getting left over, and in my blender bottle they kind of would come heavily and in packs towards the end. I could deal with it, but it is slightly irritating(texture bothers me the…
  • This was what I was thinking, I just was not entirely sure how well it would do. Is thee anything I need to know about sizes or just kind of have to figure it out?
  • This is pretty much the logic of the general population, and it isn't correct. http://chemistry.about.com/od/holidaysseasons/a/tiredturkey.htm Googled for a quick answer, but yeah, don't hate the bird.
  • I seriously just laughed while reading this one. I have 1 banana a day, goes into my pre and post workout shakes. I damn well don't fall asleep during work out and I can't sleep 3-4 hours after my workout... So... Yeah, I'm with the everyone in the world except your coworker category.
  • So because I work hard to find found I enjoy eating, and will on a daily life long basis, I am sentenced to a life of mediocrity? Kind of disagree. Don't get me wrong, right now as I change my life I am working stuff in I don't like at all. But I will eventually find a way to replace it with an equally valuable intake that…
  • I second this. I feel like you can make your own versions for cheaper and have more definition to what you are focusing on. If you need a super simply fix and don't want to look into your own design, then go for it. But I am not forking out $120/mo for 1 meal/day personally. I will eventually try it for a month just to see…
  • This sounds like a miserable experience... If you're in a diet where you do not enjoy eating what you are eating, it is going to be the epitome of a diet. Don't expect life long changes through this. (I would never get in bed with a food plan that I have to force down daily and I don't have any enjoyment eating, that…
  • I eat fat for energy personally. :D Make sure you're keeping your fruits in check, while they are better than processed garbage, they are still a bit heavy on carbs(sugars) if you get them in an overwhelming amount. But they are vastly superior to processed food, so that is a great change! Keep up the good work, you'll…
  • A little strange your weight hasn't decreased some, but like you said, measurements count! I am sitting between 230-232 lbs since switching to a strength circuit but I can feel some muscles have increased a bit(I do feel checks on areas occasionally to see if I notice a diff as my GF says she swears my biceps have kept…
  • Cool, thanks for the information. I knew about naturally occurring trans fats and the likes, not that indepth though. Also wasn't sure about what processes BK used. Oh I forgot to mention, the other issue w/ fast food, raging sodium counts. Those can really kick your *kitten*.
  • And no concern for that trans fat thing? Like you said moderation(IMO extreme is far better, but I won't pretend to stick to that, though I plan to eventually) and you can certainly make better options. (passing on the fries is pretty much a good decision IMO, even if they are yummy as hell.)
  • MSG is something that makes you hungry. Not sure if fast food uses it or not, don't care, that is just one of the issues. I find fast food just empty almost. High carb, low protein, high fat(some just bad). Empty carbs suck, eat, feel bad, 2 hours later starving again, that is my cycle. Eating healthy natural sources of…
